What's your oldest pair that you actually still wear regularly that ISN'T falling apart?

99 Metallic Vs (basically keep dez DS, bring em out mayb once a yr on special occasions) and 02 Raptors (ball in dez constantly and dey are still holding up like the 1st day i bought em...love dez, def tried and true, back when JB actually used decent material smh)
 
I would have to say its my Mars IV's
have the Retro French Blue XIII's but I got them used so they could be the oldest pair that hasn't fell apart but they weren't officially
mine to begin with

I used XVII low black/chrome as my bad weather/going somewhere that can mess up your shoes pair. They are pretty much perfect minus some minor walking creases. The best part is you spray them down and they sure as hell don't look like beaters. I try to wear a different pair everyday to keep everything pliable. I had a pair of Oreo IVs I wore once a week that were perfect, even clear bubbles, but in fear of crumbling I traded them away for DS CDP XIIs with the full CDP box (I already had the 11s). Needless to say, I was unable to get DS CDP 12 prices for those Oreos without the OG box, so I felt good about.

I also have 00 Space Jams and Concords but I dont wear them on a regular basis. But they are holding up just fine minus yellowed soles. I have cool grey 9s, low carolina 6s, white royal 18s that also see regular wear and are fine.

In my years of collecting the only casualty I had was 05 all black 10s, not crumbling but the toe ripped from the midsole.
 
Black/ Silver V's from 2000
CG XI's from 2001 but very rarely
Black/ Cement III's from 2001
